Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup high-quality marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
- In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs.
- Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven. Top each chicken breast with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
- Return the skillet to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can broil for the last minute or two for extra browning, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
